Sumario:BACKGROUND: The jejunal nutrition tube has increasingly been used in clinical practice, and the results in frequent complications. CASE SUMMARY: We present the case of a 74-year-old male patient who had been admitted to the intensive care unit for aspiration pneumonia and respiratory failure. When confirming the position of the jejunal tube by X-ray, we found that the feeding tube had been placed into the chest. The complications was a disaster, though the misplacement of jejunal feeding tube are uncommon. CONCLUSION: We introduced a way of ultrasound-guided jejunum feeding tube placement to avert the disaster, which was convenient and economical.
